Okay. So, here's the final list of the people who are in (I miscounted, but it's not a big deal, I think):
IronyOwl - as Akanus the Peasant
inteuniso - as Markus the Trader
criptfiend - as Mart the Crafter
Odd!x - as Oddix the Peasant
Tyg13 - as Xanthian the Crafter
Ukrainian Ranger - as Wartin the Trader.
I'll put you on the waiting list Acanthus. I'd get confused with Akanus anyway, so probably better to have you in a separate cycle. If ExKirby wants in on the waiting list: I want a name and a talent!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gather from the sea, especially anything alive and too large to be a good idea.
Attempt: 81 (success)
Quality: 100
Quantity: 10-100 = 1
Heading out into the deep and dark ocean in your environmental suit, you manage to find an immense giant clam. Bad idea, when peasants are around looking for huge, defenceless sea creatures. Within it is an equally large pearl. Immobile as it is, due to its age, you manage to take it back with ease to The Maia.

!Base influence: 100!Gather from the ocean floor.
Attempt: 94-10 = 84
Quality: 68
Quantity: 45-68 = 1
You wander out in your Enviro-Suit, shining your light here and there. It isn't nearly as barren as you'd think, but you become somewhat distracted by a volcanic outcropping. Approaching it, you discover that it contains copious amounts of sulphur, sealife and magma. Feeling the pressure building up, you take a rash decision and go back to The Maia with only one of the three: A glob of glowing hot magma, kept safe from the ocean water.

!Base Influence: 68!Grab a log and the skull and make a shaman staff.
Claiming the canine skull and a pine log, you almost botch the crafting as you attempt to force the two together. However, your skill in matters of crafting saves the day and soon, your diligent hands has managed to put the skull on top of the log, creating a staff fit for a shaman, even if it did turn out a bit shoddy.

!Base Influence: 54!Strut out to the ocean floor to gather some sand.
Attempt: 92 (critical!)
Quality: 97, 46
Quantity: 9-97 = 1, 50-46=4
Strutting out onto the ocean floor, you barely take a few steps before realizing just how much useful sand there is around you. The ocean floor is full of it! As you collect some of the best sand you can, you also uncover some ambergris and claim it, taking it back with you to The Maia. Perhaps now all those foul-smelling colleagues of yours will be able to make some nice perfumes.

!Base influence: 46!I claim one green-ish purple bar and one black stone and attempt to fuse them together.
Attempt: 57+20=77
Quality: 35
Base Influence: 11+35=46
Grabbing one of the unknown metal bars and one of the blocks of black stone, you discover some usable components in each, copper and silicon, and attempt to fuse them together. You consume the other elements present in the bar and the stone, to generate the necessary energy and after a while, you are left with a relatively large amount of mildly radioactive Technetium. All other parts of the bar and stone were lost in the process.

!Base influence: 46!Grab the log. Craft a boat from it
Attempt: 26-10=16
You take a log of pine and try to create a boat from it. However, you soon discover you either lack the skillset or the materials needed to create a truly magnificient boat and you grow disillusioned with the idea, dropping it before the day is done and accomplishing little, except having read through a few books on shipwrighting and turning the log into an equally unremarkable plank.
